root?

[Pattt]

When I use root.i++ I get:
1119: Access of possibly undefined property i through a reference with static type flash.display.DisplayObject.
When I use root[I]++ I get:
1120: Access of undefined property i.

What shall I use to make i++? Please help!

root is typed as DisplayObject. This means in Flash, it expects you to use only methods and properties that are associated with that type - even if other properties actually exist.

To get around this you need to recast root to a different type, either a dynamic type where you can validly access any property without error (an example dynamic type would be Object) or to the real type of root, that being your document class.

Object(root).i++; // dynamic casting

MainTimelineOrDocumentClassNameHere(root).i++; // casting to correct type

^ Cool, thanks for the info.

It worked when I used
root["i"]++;

using array access operators is another way to escape typing http://www.senocular.com/smilies/yes.gif
